Multiple Readings

An archive like Hans Himmelheber's can be read and worked on in different ways: academically, artistically, curatorially, or even personally. For us, Multiple Readings means different approaches, perspectives, and readings when working with his archive and the texts, images, and objects it contains. The Multiple Readings are the results of the engagement with Himmelheber's archive.
